Episode #45: Refresh your thought-life about your dreams, calling, and next steps with Sarah Birkbeck

This episode is all about your thought life and how it influences how you live, whether you strive or steward, whether you pursue your passion or you sit on the sidelines, and whether you move your dreams into reality or you stay stuck.

In this interview, Refresh conference founder, wife, and mom Sarah Birkbeck shares with us:

What slips us into a “striving mentality” and how we can stop it dead in its tracks
About how to navigate the tension that comes from being a multi-passionate mama,
And one practical tool to stop comparison.

If you struggle with white-knuckling through life, trying to keep everybody happy, moving your dreams into reality, and comparing yourself to others, listen in!
